***SAFE 05/31/15*** GABBY WAS LEFT AT THE SHELTER WHEN HER OWNER MOVED – SHE FREAKED AT INTAKE AND NOW THE ACC IS GOING TO KILL A PERFECTLY HEALTHY CAT!!! GABBY’s owner had to scan her for a microchip because this pretty girl knew he was trying to dump her in the kill shelter and she didn’t want to be there!! HOW CAN YOU DO THIS TO A PET YOU HAD FOR 8 YEARS!!!! After this heartless act, her owner left her to sit in a cold steel cage and wonder what she did to deserve this. Gabby had lived with this person since she was a 2 month old kitten and now sits on DEATH ROW TO BE KILLED THURSDAY if nobody steps up for her. GABBY is 8 years old and already spayed. She is shy but friendly. BECAUSE SHE WAS AFRAID IN THE SHELTER SHE GOT AN EXPONOCHILD RATING WHICH WAS JUST ENOUGH FOR THE ACC TO PUT HER ON TONIGHT’S LIST. GIVE THIS BEAUTIFUL GRAY GIRL A FUREVER HOME WHERE SHE WILL NEVER BE ABANDONED AGAIN. CONTACT A RESCUE NOW TO SAVE HER LIFE.

She is perfectly healthy according to her prior owner and has recently visited the vet 2 months ago for a normal checkup. Client had to surrender Gabby because she has moved to a new place that does not accept any pets. Socialization Gabby has been exposed to a lot of people over the years. Client describes her cat as very mellow and shy. She tends to hide when new people enter the home. When she gets comfortable, she greets people while they’re sitting and rubbed their legs. Client says that she is afraid of children. She doesn’t play with them much and she tends to hide underneath the owner’s bed. For a New Family to Know Client says she is litter box trained, and she used the clumping form of litter with Gabby. She says doesn’t play with toys, and would occasionally play with him gently. He states that she did scratch on his furniture and drapes; however she did not have a scratching post in the home. Client says when home she’ll follow him around, but eventually will retire to one of her favorite spots in the closet, or under the table. Client says she was free fed dry food, and is unbothered with car rides, and shell sleep anywhere in the home. Behavior During intake Gabby was very nervous during intake.

The previous owner also stated that she is afraid of children and will hide frome them. Gabby behavior around other animals remains unknown. Gabby is litter box trained. Notes: At the time of the assessment she was displaying fearful behavior; Gabby comes to the front of the kennel when spoken to softly but retreats and becomes alert when the kennel door was opened. Retreats as I started to get closer but after a steady low approach using soft voices she relaxed a little and I was able to pet her and interact with her. Gabby only allows some petting before beoming overstimulated. I was also able to pick her up. We recommend that this cat go to a home with experienced cat parents with no children. Reaction to assessor: does not come to front but looks at you, is calm, relaxed and friendly (1) When spoken quietly: comes to the front of cage, soliciting, rubbing against front (1) Reaction to door cage opening: retreats (3) Reaction to touch: allows limited petting before becoming overstimulated Try picking cat up: tolerant of this type of handling but tense. Placement Determination: Experience no child
